प्रश्न
What is the criterion of choosing the two metals for a bimetal strip?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Two different metals are used for regulating temperature in an electrical device as the strip bends due to different coefficients of expansion on excessive heating due to current, thus breaking the electrical circuit until the strip cools down to a preset point.
